    Suggestion: CSS Style per field

    Would like the option to apply a unique style per field to handle display differences even for similar field data types.

    Hi Chris

    Contour already generates a unique class structure for each field, consisting of its name and type, so you should be able to target each field specifically

    Per,

    I was thinking more of applying global style rules to a field than a field specific style, so I don't have to create a css rule for each actual field.  While styling the field type works in most cases, sometimes 2 fields of the same type (even on the same form) may be displayed differently.  A good example is the text area.  For brief text you would want the height to be 2 rows high, and for larger text you want the field to be 10 rows high.  I would rather apply a .shorttext and .longtext class vs a seperate style rule per field in the css file.  Another example would be radiobuttonlist, where 2 radio buttons should be displayed horizontally and more would be displayed vertically.  I think a css class field on the field properties would allow custom styles without requiring the user touch the css file so often.
